Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 129
In the morning above, Baiguan held a wat board and bowed to the emperor in the hall. Long live the mountain.
Qishan solemnly: “Be flat, make a concert if there is something, and retreat to the court if there is nothing!”
Gou Xiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, held a wat board and paced into the hall, “Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War received an urgent report on the military situation of the Linbei garrison last night. The Barr’s army dispatched dozens of scouts, who climbed over the city wall a few days ago and attacked our Linbei garrison. Patrol the second battalion, kill more than thirty or forty people of our Linbei garrison patrol second battalion, and then patrol the second battalion garrison to light the beacon tower. One team launched a counterattack.”
It was such an explosive news at the beginning of the early morning, and there was an uproar in the hall.
Ah? !
This!
The court did not expect that the news from Lin Bei would come first from the court earlier today.
Since the Huaicheng Rebellion last year, Tan Jin was executed for conspiracy, coupled with the cold winter, the Baal incident has made the entire court panic. But for the whole year of last year, the northern side was stable, but the small friction with Xirong in the west continued.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month of this year. Everyone thought that there was nothing to do this year, and that the troubles in the north should be over for the time being, but I didn’t expect that the west was stable now, but war suddenly broke out in the north.
Baal is different from Shiron.
The Baal people are brave and good at fighting. This time they not only dispatched a front wing, but also let the scouts kill more than 30 or 40 people in the garrison when they crossed the city wall to inquire about the news. This is already a blatant provocation.
There is no Tan Jin anymore!
There are still layers of barriers from the west to the capital, and there are many obstacles in the terrain, but the north is almost a flat river, which is also the reason why Yanhan is jealous of Baer. Earlier, Tan Jin stunned Barr. After Tan Jin’s death, the number of troops stationed in Licheng was almost twice as many as before, which can be seen.
The report from the Ministry of War just now said that Shen Ci had already led the garrison to meet the enemy.
Shen Ci just went to the border. At this time, the army was already facing the enemy.
General Liu Lao was the commander-in-chief of the garrison in the west. During the three years Baojiu was at home, Shen Ci was in charge of the garrison in Licheng.
Shen Ci was the apprentice of General Liu Lao, and he also had practical experience in dealing with large and small battles in Xirong, and both Tan Jin and Lou Chi were killed by Shen Ci…
As soon as Gou Xiu finished speaking, everyone in the court inexplicably mentioned it in their hearts.
Fortunately, the Son of Heaven asked Shen Ci to leave Lin Bei. If Shen Ci was not there, the Baal people might not be so afraid. First, they sent scouts to attack the second battalion.
When the DPRK and the DPRK were thinking about each other, Gou Xiu continued, “The winter is coming, and the most afraid of the army’s disintegration. General Shen took the initiative to lead the troops to meet the enemy, which can maximize the stability of the army’s heart and the hearts of the people in Linbei. As of today, the Ministry of War will be closed again. To the Linbei garrison to report urgently, the front wing of Baer has withdrawn a few days ago.”
In an instant, Chaozhong breathed a sigh of relief.
After Tan Jin’s death, most of Linbei’s garrison was afraid of Baer’s iron cavalry, and so were the garrison generals, who were afraid of losing battles. Because Lin Bei didn’t have Tan Jin’s first battle, he had to win no matter what!
Otherwise, it is the sinner of Lin Bei’s garrison.
But Barr was already familiar with Lin Bei’s garrison’s style of play, and the main generals like Tan Jin and Lou Chi were gone, and the garrison could easily lose to Barr.
Fortunately, this battle was fought by Shen Ci!
Maybe it was a fluke, maybe the other party was also afraid of Shen Ci, and maybe it was Shen Ci who led the troops, unlike Tan Jin, who was unexpected, but this battle was understandable, as Gou Xiu said, it was a meal for the garrison and the people in Linbei. A reassurance pill.
The DPRK has already sighed, “Thanks to General Shen in Linbei.”
“I think it’s time to hurry up, otherwise how can we catch up at this time? It’s because I don’t have any other thoughts, I’m all concerned about border closures…”
There are more and more discussions in the DPRK.
Yushitai and Xiao Mingzhu’s faces turned red and white…
If Shen Ci really wanted to rebel, he couldn’t have rushed to the border to fight.
There is no need for the emperor to come forward right now, and there are many criticisms from the DPRK and China alone.
Such a border emergency report has already been to Chen Ling alone last night and this morning, and Chen Ling knew about it early in the morning. This morning, the upper military department reported as usual, and it was to inform the court that it was up and down.
Shen Ci did not disappoint her, but also made her more comfortable in court.
For example, at the moment, Chen Ling said to Gou Xiu, “Every inch of land under Yanhan’s feet is guarded by garrisoned troops, how can Baal’s iron cavalry be allowed to rage! I have passed my word that Baal will attack first, and then another front wing will invade the territory of Linbei. , provoked disputes and tore up the border agreement, such as the disciples of Baal, who did not keep their word and ordered the Linbei Garrison to face it in an all-round way. All military supplies and logistics are under the auspices of the Ministry of War, and within a month and a half, I will send them all to the Linbei Garrison!”
“The minister leads the order!” Gou Xiu took the lead and bowed to follow the order.
The DPRK and China all followed suit, “The minister leads the order!”
Chen Ling asked again, “Is there anything else going on this morning?”
Dali Temple Shaoqing Jiang Hongyun came out, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the theft of official silver in Hucheng and the matter involved in the Pingnan Houfu…”
Before Jiang Hongyun finished speaking, Ning Xiang said, “This matter should not be brought up earlier today, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should be postponed.”
Jiang Hongyun was slightly startled.
It also suddenly reacted, and the Baer Cavalry attacked the top of the court early today, and the fact that Linbei garrisoned the enemy to defend against the enemy was weakened. This matter involved General Shen, and Marquis Pingnan was General Shen’s uncle, so it was inappropriate to bring it up at this time.
After Ning Xiang finished speaking, Fang Siping also came out, “This minister agrees, this matter will be mentioned later. During the battle of Barr, among all the military supplies, food and grass should go first. Now that winter is approaching, the surplus of food for the year should be roughly the same. Master Fan, are the food and forage reserves in various places available for the Linbei garrison?”
Ning Rutao looked at Fang Siping.
Fang Siping compiled for the Hanlin Academy, in charge of the confidential documents of the DPRK and China and the follow-up of important matters of the Son of Heaven, and was the vice-chancellor.
After the emperor’s decree issued, Fang Siping directly asked about the grain and grass in the court.
Ning Rutao was surprised.
When Fang Siping mentioned it, Fan Yu also came out.
Fan Yu left Beijing in the name of random inspection of granaries in various places. He returned to Beijing in mid-October. In order to avoid suspicion, Qu Bianying arrived in Beijing in early November; after Fan Yu returned to Beijing, he ordered the process of private inspection of grain and forage. Several officials have been impeached, and the subtle thing is that one of them is the prefect of Hucheng, who was the most violent earlier in the case of the theft of official silver in Hucheng.
Fan Yu has been very effective as a director of the Ministry of Households for more than a year. After all the chief officials of the Ministry of Households were imprisoned and dismissed, Fan Yu took charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Households as a member of the Ministry of Households. The bad debts that were unclear earlier were all identified, and the amount of food in various places was sorted out for the first time in nearly two years, and there were countless praises from the DPRK and China.
Fan Yu was also promoted to the minister of household after returning to Beijing in October.
Before the office of the Minister of the Ministry of Household, he was the head of the Ministry of Household.
The Minister of the Ministry of Household has been regarded as an important post in the DPRK. At present, there is a vacancy in the Minister of the Ministry of Household, and all matters related to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Finance have to go through Fan Yu’s office.
Like Fang Siping, Fan Yu is also clear about the affairs of the DPRK and China.
Fang Siping asked, Fan Yu replied, “Report to Your Majesty, since the twelfth lunar month of last year, the Ministry of Household has been raising food for the Linbei garrison in case of emergency. After a year of continuous raising, the food and grass are all ready, Lin From now on, the needs of the north can be escorted to the north in batches.”
Fan Yu’s voice was not loud, but it was loud.
How many households have not been so hard-hearted, and the people who cry poor every year are food and military salaries.
Military salaries are not for the time being.
During Fan Yu’s visit to various places this time, there were quite a few illicit grains deducted alone, not to mention the dark warehouse transactions of grains in various places that were also involved. Many aristocratic families and local officials were implicated, and it became the last straw that crushed the previous head of the household department.
After killing the chicken to warn the monkey, everyone in the court knew that Fan Yu was not born in an aristocratic family and was trusted by the emperor. After Fan Yu’s eye on the private reselling of grain, it is no longer easy to do, and there are risks at any time. No one wants to lose their vested interests, so instead, the people in the Ministry of Households have confirmed their earlier inaction.
The position of the Minister of Household is an important position. To rise to such a position, seniority and years are required.
Fan Yu’s position as Minister of the Household is considered an exception. In the short term, it should be difficult for Fan Yu to be promoted again.
But today in the court, Fan Yu said that after a year of continuous financing, the food and grass have been prepared, and Lin Bei can be escorted to the north in batches from now on, which still makes the court uproar again.
All of a sudden, there were private discussions.
“I really underestimated Fan Yu earlier, and in a few moments, Lin Bei’s food and grass are all gathered!”
“I used to say that he relied on the emperor to step up his career, but now, it seems that he is really capable. With so much food, it is not easy to deduct it. The previous Ministry of Household pales in comparison!”
“Fan Yu is not simple, but in a year, give him a few more years, what do you think it is?”
…
In the surrounding discussions, no matter whether they praise or criticize, they are all talking about one thing, Fan Yu is amazing.
Qu Bianying squeezed the saber at his waist and smiled secretly.
He also secretly looked at Fan Yu in the hall.
Although he is clean, he is tall and straight, handsome, and a gentleman who is better than most of the people in this dynasty!
Shine and shine!
Almost all the good words in Qu Bianying’s mind were used, and they were all used by the same person.
There was a little private discussion in the hall, and the emperor said from the hall, “The Ministry of Household has done a good job in this matter, and it should be commended. Zichu, let the Hanlin Academy draw up a decree, and Fan Yu, the servant of the Ministry of Household, will submit a list of the roster, and the Ministry of Household is related to this matter. Wait, let’s dress according to the circumstances.”
“Yes.” Fang Siping responded.
Chen Ling said again, “It is not a trivial matter to **** grain and grass to the north, and it is not a small number. Who wants to take this heavy responsibility in the court today?”
As soon as the Son of Heaven’s voice fell, all the generals in the DPRK came out.
“The last will be willing!”
“The last commander please order to go!”
“The last general is willing to take over this matter!”
…
The general who had been inspired by the early victory of Lin Bei and Baal in the early battle finally got this opportunity. Regardless of whether they can go to the Linbei battlefield, the **** of grain and grass can also share the worries of the troops stationed in the north.
Qu Bianying stepped forward in the voices of pleas for orders one after another, “Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead troops to **** grain and grass to the north. Everyone in the court knows that Ziyiwei is His Majesty’s personal guard. Now that there is a war in Lin Bei, Ziyiwei, as His Majesty’s bodyguard, bears the brunt. , the last commander is willing to lead the Ziyiwei to shoulder the responsibility of escorting food and grass, and will never be humiliated!”
Qu Bianying is a woman, but Qu Bianying’s words are loud and clear, not inferior to others.
Especially the sentence Ziyiwei is His Majesty’s guard, should bear the brunt.
In fact, everyone in the court can almost guess that this is an opportunity for Qu Bianying and Ziyiwei to make achievements, and His Majesty will love Qu Bianying.
Sure enough, Chen Ling smiled and said, “Okay, don’t let your men! The matter of escorting food and grass is handed over to Ziyiwei, don’t let me down.”
“Yes!” Qu Bianying took the lead.
Chen Ling said again, “It is clear that this time the grain and forage **** is of great importance. During the period, the allocation of grain and forage in various places needs to be dealt with in time. You and Bian Ying will go north and have full authority to handle this matter.”
Fan Yu handed over, “The minister leads the order!”
